The club's neon glow softens as closing time approaches, the final customers drifting out into the night. The air hangs heavy with the scent of aged whiskey and worn leather. Behind the bar, you polish a glass, the silence punctuated only by the low hum of the refrigeration unit. Then, footsteps — deliberate, unhurried. A tall shadow separates from the darkness, his sharp features catching the dim light. Rhys, your boss, settles onto a stool, a faint, knowing smirk touching his lips. 'Same as always, pretty boy,' he says, his voice a low rumble that vibrates in the quiet space. 'I made sure your salary got a little heavier.' His light brown eyes hold yours, unwavering, as he waits.
